I can’t make it, go on without me!

A friend of mine is fishing today. My dog is sick. Between the vet appointment, boiling of rice and hamburger, and work, I can’t make the trip. Nothing is worse than taking care of obligations when there are fish to be caught. There is one upside to a sick dog though, I feel fine and I’m missing a training obligation at work this morning. Driving a dog to the vet hoping he doesn’t vomit in your truck is kind of like sitting in training, is it not? Maybe I’ll get some flies tied.

Back to the friend in the water. He informed me last week he was taking today off to fish. I checked my schedule and it was blocked as training and business all day. This is the crucial decision time for the busy angler. Blow off the schedule and fish or tell him, “I can’t make it, go on without me.” Don’t worry about me and my cubical, the constant wondering if he is reeling my fish in at this exact moment. Nope, you just go right on ahead. Keep your cell phone on, in fact just put it on speaker so I can hear the water rushing by you. I’ll be OK. Maybe the river will blow out….

Speaking of tying flies. Here is one to get you ready for the season. In this Blog, Robin and I will be highlighting fly tying and fishing videos from our website, www.theanglersnet.com

That sound way to familiar.
I think we all have cabin / fishing fever and need to be on the stream.
Tying flies and making sink tips helps but I think we are all “jonesing” for the tug of a fish.
Conratulations on the blog it’s about time. Have you heard any reports form the Pulaski area?
